No matter how fast or shiny computers might be when they are new, they all seem to get slower over time. That state-of-the-art PC you bought last year might not feel like such a screamer after you install a dozen programs, load it with antispyware and antivirus tools, and download untold amounts of junk from the Internet. The slowdown might happen so gradually you hardly notice it, until one day you're trying to open a program or file and wonder, "What happened to my poor PC?" Whatever the cause, there are a lot of ways to help speed up Windows and make your PC work better - even without upgrading your hardware. Here are some tips to help you optimize Windows Vista for faster performance.

It was only a matter of time before people started cloning Windows Vista features and adding them into Windows XP. One of my favorite Vista features is the thumbnails that popup when you mouse over the taskbar. And now I can use them in XP as well. The utility we'll use is called Visual Tooltip, which is a hybrid dock / thumbnail applicaton. With a few tweaks to the settings, we can make it work just like Vista thumbnails. Here's what it looks like on my desktop... pretty sweet! To make your thumbnails look the same as mine, just follow these couple of steps. Download and start the application, and open up the options from the tray icon. Increase the size of the sliders to make the thumbnail bigger, and then uncheck the option for "Size proportional to the target window".
